Windows 10: I am getting an advert for Office 365 everytime windows starts. I want it gone. Can...

Hi all,


I have a very self defeating advertisment appearing on my screen everytime I start windows 10 64 Pro.

It urges me to create an office 365 account. It is only one click to get rid of it but it is absolutely infuriating to me. I hate nagging advertisments with a passion and will not deal with any company that nags.

This is one of the worst. I cannot seem to get rid of it. I would not buy Office 365 now if I had a gun to my head.

But the worst thing is that I have spent huge amounts of time trying to make it go away including the following:


I turned off all notifications.

Looked for a start program option that might be enabling it. Couldn't find it.

Ran HiJack this to try and find and remove any Microsoft hijacking, but that didnt work.

I disabled the tip and tricks.

I exhaustively searched through GPEdit to find anything relating to Office 365. I couldn't find anything. Probably because I never had it installed and do not want it.

I totally disabled the windows store.

I looked for the ''get office'' program or any related services but I couldn't find any others.

I then started to get desperate. So I blocked all windows telemetry and Microsoft IP addresses completely using a third party program.


It is still there and it is now infuriating me beyond all reason. I would be very very grateful for any suggestions to remove this microsoft malware.

Cortana & Office 365 Integration

We are trying to integrate Cortana with our Office 365 subscription, but it never works. Here are the steps we have done:

• Turned on Cortona in the Office 365 Admin portal
• We are using Windows 10 1703 – connected Office 365 service to Cortana

Did the same on windows 10 mobile with no luck, Cortana says its connected to Office 365, but sees no data and we are getting zero errors

We went rough office 365 support first and tried all fo their suggestions, they kicked us over to Windows support which is currently closed.

We are on v1703 with all updates in place, it does not work on Windows 10 desktop or mobile

any ideas? I can give you all steps 365 support had us run through if that will be helpful

Thank you

Doug

We appreciate your response, Keith. We suggest that you update Office 365 and see if it'll make a difference. You can simply do it by opening any Office 365 applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Here are the steps on how to do so:
